Bassani, Jehiel B. Ḥayyim
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
Casuist and rabbi of Constantinople in the seventeenth century. His responsa (Constantinople, 1737) are valued for their keen analysis and terse style. Bassani maintained a learned correspondence with the great Oriental teachers of his time; and he is several times mentioned in the responsa of Joseph di Trani and Meïr de Boton. Judah Lerma, rabbi of Belgrade, was one of his pupils.
